    Hi Aless :)
    did the fairy post ever arrive? I've totally forgotten when I sent it :doh: but Do you think the 99p paddling pool would be cheap to post? did it have a brand name on it? I'm after something little for short sunny spells because the pirate ship takes about an hour to pump up and more to squash back down and pack away.

    And the fairies here would be happy to pass on a 99p paddling pool if they're still there next time I'm on the high street (within the next week, is that okay?) :D. It's only about 2-2.5ft diameter and no particular brand...I've thrown the packaging away so can't give you specifics I'm afraid :o.

    I got a little 3 ring one from Asda for £2.50 the other day if that helps....

    Thanks Tia & Caz - I've passed on on the syringe tip to my Mum. I'm just trying to keep myself occupied until I can go home. Only another hour and then I'm going to shut the office so I can meet OH & Liam for the appointment - I don't think I've been very productive today.

    Caz - hope your OH gets sorted at A&E - even if it's only so he can hear you telling him to get his dirty shoes off your nice clean carpets :D

    Tia - you want anymore ironing?

    I have hired a cleaner as my vax is crap? the carpets are really bad and im mortified at the colour of the water hehe! feeling lazy too but house inspection is tom so need to have it done.


    Not the Rug Doctor one by any chance? Was wondering if they are any good, I was looking at it in Homebase the other day. Need to clean the living room and stair carpet once OH has finished making a dust cloud while stripping the house!

    We're having sausage, mash, mushy peas and gravy for dinner! I'm on gravy-making duty :D

    And my bed slats were supposed to arrive overnight but the carrier apparently can't guarantee it. But they've been located and should turn up soon!!!!!

    pfffttt been ironing since 10 am, all done now, sweating now tho!!!!!!!! i put it off all weekend because it was far to hot to stand next to steam for hours!!

    there was LOADS to do, everytime i promise myself i'll iron each load when it comes out, yeh right that didnt happen!!

    how is everyone? we had a bad night last night, think it was the heat, A's room wouldnt come down from 27 degrees, fan, windows open, so think she was just waking every few hours because she was uncomfy, bless her.

    you've just reminded me, i havent planned anything for tea oops!! best get searching!!

    WM i'd say nipping home to put washing out is domestic goddess status :D lol.

    all our washing was done over the weekend, was dry super quick!!

    we had a bbq last night, just for us, was yum, the smell is worth it alone hehe :)

    Kian has been sleeping in just his vest. had fan on but i closed the window as i didnt want any insects getting hin and biting him. Black out curtains are great but boy do they keep the room hot!

    thought i saw the edge of his fourth tooth before :) he's moving a lot more on his front (in circles). currently reaching for DH trainers which no doubt he wants to chew on lol!!

    been out in the garden most of the day, just come in now for a 'cool down'

    how is everyone today?
